It’s also worth noting that Grabbo/Wonka’s KTM failed due to an aftermarket stator, not an excuse but at least it wasn’t a factory part failure.
So if I want to race any type of enduro anywhere in the world I’ll buy a KTM and if I want to race a 1000Km desert the next time I’m in Mexico/South America/Africa I’ll make sure to buy a Honda
AnonymousJapan is a lot closer to Australia than Austria is yet KTM sell more bikes. You’re clutching at straws mate, you can’t argue with the results although I commend you for trying
There will be others with the ‘yeah but’ this and that but and the end of the day, they win more races than Honda does
Suck it up.

I only posted this thread to wind the Honda boys up and the next time we get crap for PDS this thread will pop up
AnonymousProbably a bit of everything Dan I reckon. Yamaha do well in almost all the above mentioned events.
I was genuinely intrigued that there was a lack of presence by Honda in the top level of some of these races, it just helps that it will gee up the Honda boys
Next time they race about how great they are they may wish to consider why they seem to be getting beaten by most manufacturers out there in some enduro race or other.
They still do very well at SX and MX but how many here ride either of those disciplines?

Why Euro’s are becomming more mainstream now I dont know, good marketing, people wanting to stand out in the crowd (although not really the case now given this thread) or “god forbid” are the Europeans just building good and possibly better bikes these days? :ohmy:
Yep you were right wingman of TB (about the uneducated bit
)but I need to ask something of the Honda God lover, if they were selling more KTM’s then you would have to say they are popular for some reason , and also the thing I find real amusing is the sales figures indicate that the Honda’s are up there with the most sold so what’s the go there…why are they one of the biggest seller’s yet the worst performers….maybe they SUCK as a competitive bike now because the rest have gone forwards not stagnated on the 80’s glory days…..
also with the same line of deduction, the Kato still sells not as many of the machines as the others but beats them all with results …… less competitors and better results, no wonder people are leaving the others and going orangehang on a minute, I know all the winners are X honda riders, so when they have ridden such a woeful bike for so many years its no wonder they win when they get on a bike that does stop and turn
Come on TB you have had two mins, where are you, probably riding to the computer, that means he wont be here for a while, he is on a Honda afterall

XR’s are a fine example of over engineering. Good luck with your recommended 70hr rebuilds.Rubbish Mick you will get 3000 hours with your dino-bike, did you really expect it to wear out when it only makes 2 HP and 1/2 ftlb of torque and 800 rpm is redline
